Twitch’s Post

Livestreams are the new telethons, and they’re raising millions for charities. The rise of video game streaming in the last several years has opened up a new avenue for philanthropy. For example, Twitch streamers raised $83 million in 2020? And if you're looking for those elusive younger donors, note that 70% of Twitch's users are between 18-34 years old. My guest this week on Nonprofit Nation is Shane Bailey, Head of Gaming & Streaming for Australian charity Cure Cancer, spearheading Game On Cancer®, an initiative that partners with gaming brands, developers, publishers, creators and communities to help fund life-saving cancer research. In less than four years, Game On Cancer® has raised more than $1M AUD and isn’t slowing down. In this episode, we discuss:  🎮 The rise of gaming and streaming fundraisers and how can they raise donations for your nonprofit 🎮 How to partner with gamers and livestreamers 🎮 How nonprofits can determine if they are ready to run a gaming fundraiser 🎮 Ways to get started in this space, even if you are a small nonprofit Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gN_xdmrr

With just 2 Days before Shave Day, we’ve slipped back into the 2nd place spot overnight — proof that you’ve got to keep donating! This is the HOME STRETCH. Am I only going to get louder? You know I am. This isn’t about me. It isn’t about 1st or 2nd place. It’s about funding as much as we possibly can — pouring every extra cent we have — into these kids. If you have a job right now — if you have that ‘little treat’ income level — if you’ve got $5 for Starbucks, whatever Netflix is currently charging you monthly, or enough for the movies…CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve got enough to donate to help us fund better, safer treatments for kids battling cancer! (And I am screaming that EVEN LOUDER if you’re working for a company that MATCHES donations!) Annnnnd you can do that right here. 😉 KEEP DONATING AND SHARING: https://lnkd.in/dWuj5vz PS: If you currently can’t donate — likes, comments, and shares are free AND help this life-saving work get in front of other folks who may be able to donate. So keep it up! 🫶🏼 #StBaldricks #CancerResearch #CancerSucks #WorkThatMatters #DoGoodWork #DoGood #Volunteer #WomenInTech #TechCommunity #Tech4Good #TechCollaboration #ChangeMakers
